- A student wants to determine the coefficients of static friction and kinetic friction between a box and a plank. She places the box on the plank and gradually raises one end of the plank. When the angle of inclination with the horizontal reaches 30, the box starts to slip, and it then slides 2.5 m down the plank in 4.0 s at constant acceleration. What are (a) the coefficient of static friction and (b) the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the plank?arrow_forwardA box with with a mass m = 2kg is being pushed up a ramp by an unknown pushing force Fp. The coefficient of static friction between the box and interface is 0.7. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and interface is 0.6. The incline of the ramp is 15 degrees. The velocity of the box is constant. The surface of the ramp is 12 m. Fp is removed when the box reaches the top of the ramp. What is the acceleratin of the box after Fp is removed?arrow_forwardA window washer is standing on a scaffold supported by a vertical rope at each end. The scaffold weighs 204 N and is 3.2 m long.

You pin a 48 kg dweeb to a wall so that his feet aren't touching the ground. Your arm is extended so that it makes an angle 28 degrees with the horizontal. The dweeb's back is so sweaty with fear that there is no friction between his back and the wall. What is the magnitude of the force , in N, you must apply to keep the dweeb in equilibrium? (Use g = 10 m/s2) This scenario is represented schematically below. Unfortunately for you, years later the dweeb is your boss and he makes your life miserable.

- A skate park is formed by two semicircles of radius R1 = 8.3 m and R2 = 1.0 m and a flat central part, as shown in the following figure. The flat part has a length L = 3.6 m. The semicircles are tangent to the horizontal in B and C and to the vertical in A and D. There is no friction in the curved parts and in the flat part the coefficient of kinetic friction is μC = 0.2. A block with mass m = 3.2 kg is dropped from A. Suppose the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m / s2. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the block as it passes through point B the second time?

The ground is somewhat icy, where the coefficient of static friction between the ground and the ladder’s feet is µ = 0.55; while the wall of her house can be considered frictionless. If Sally has a mass of 60kg and the ladder has a mass of 80kg, what is the max distance that she can climb up the length of the ladder without it slipping? You may assume the ground is perfectly flat, and the wall is perpendicular to the ground.arrow_forwardA stone has a mass of 8.79 g and is wedged into the tread of an automobile tire, as the drawing shows. The coefficient of static friction between the stone and each side of the tread channel is 0.818. When the tire surface is rotating at 10.9m/s, the stone flies out the tread. The magnitude FN of the normal force that each side of the tread channel exerts on the stone is 2.46 N.
